Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

Xia Bai'an came to Jinshang Pavilion alone and explained his intention.

"I thought about it, and I was afraid that something would happen to Boss Miao. When I panicked, I was afraid that it would be too late to find me."

"So I went directly to stay overnight. If something happens to the Jinshang Pavilion, I can take care of it. Please ask a few guys to clean up a room for me. It's as simple as it gets."

Her two sentences were concise and to the point, and without any hesitation, the staff quickly agreed to clean an empty room in the backyard for her to live in, and also instructed: "If Miss Xia needs anything, please call the little ones at any time."

"Thank you."

Xia Bai'an smiled sweetly, sent a few people away, and then locked the door.

With the click of her locks, her shoulders suddenly lost strength, and the strength supporting her spine also loosened. She bent her back slightly and lay down on the soft mattress, feeling extremely tired.

It's just a cold war with Mo Che.

I just listened to him go and chat with Yingying Yanyan outside.

It just occurred to me that he had concealed many things from himself, so he didn't need to trust Yunmai Village like he did in the old days.

One thing after another flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern, dancing and stamping on her brain nerves, causing her a headache.

Dealing with Mo Che made her feel more tired than dealing with other things.

In a daze, she felt her body was heavy and her eyelids were drooping. Before going to sleep, she caught a glimpse of a flower branch on the stage from the corner of her eye. She casually sent it into the space for renewal, and then fell asleep.

"Bang bang—"

The knock on the door was tight, like a ghost threatening his life.

Xia Bai'an woke up suddenly, his pupils suddenly focused, when he saw the strange scene in front of him, he couldn't help but froze, and he didn't recover for a long time.

"Xia Bai'an!"

Miao Linlang's voice was accompanied by an eager knock on the door, and the dust on the door was scattered everywhere.

Xia Bai'an's constricted pupils gradually regained consciousness, she rubbed her eyes, only to see that the setting sun was already red outside the window, she opened the door.

Miao Linlang stepped inside immediately, closed the door again and locked it.

"It's urgent. After half an hour, when it's dark and the pier lights up, we'll go to the painting boat in the casino right away."

"what happened?"

Xia Baian pulled her to sit down.

Miao Linlang took a sip of water: "The gambling house learned that I have been helping you find people before, and I have some friendship with you. This time, I will call you by name and let me ask you to go to the gambling house to save people."

"Then it's too urgent."

"Can you not be in a hurry? The people in the gambling shop said that the first person was seriously ill for a long time and couldn't die for a while. In one breath, if you don't go, this genius doctor, that person may be going to see Lord Hades."

After Miao Linlang finished speaking, she suddenly choked on the tea and coughed continuously.

Xia Bai'an quickly smoothed her back: "Are they running a gambling shop, or are they bandits? Where did so many life-threatening incidents come from?"

Miao Linlang raised her head suddenly, her eyes were solemn.

"Have you always thought of them as gambling houses?"

Xia Bai'an was shocked: "You keep telling me that they are gambling houses..."

Miao Linlang's lips were tightly pursed into a straight line, and then she stared at Xia Bai'an for a long time, as if she had made some decision, she pulled her to her side, and spoke word by word.

"Let me tell you the truth, their power is not inferior to the dignitaries in the capital, but the adults behind the scenes have been hiding from the government for several years and no one knows about it."

Xia Bai'an frowned: "Very contradictory."

Miao Linlang smiled lightly: "You are a smart person. The gambling house is not a part of the forces in the capital, but no one dares to move it, but let the undercurrent surge. But no one has found out the people behind it, and the intelligence and news are even worse. It is top-notch, and my Jinshang Pavilion can be regarded as being backed by a gambling house, why do you think this is?"

"Naturally, they are conniving, being kind under the light, colluding secretly, and always need a place that is not controlled by any party. The gambling house can become a channel, and they are naturally happy to see it. It doesn't matter who is behind it. The important thing is... the gambling house is trustworthy .”

Xia Bai'an's words hit the nail on the head.

With such a large gambling shop, the rich and powerful in the capital naturally made a lot of contributions.

However, Miao Linlang didn't doubt the warning she received from the gambling house before. She trusted the gambling house and believed that as long as she did what they ordered, she would be rewarded.

It can be seen that this casino is really trustworthy, and it doesn't care if you are a small businessman or a big shot.

only……

"But this has become a game of chess after all. It's too deep, and it's always easy to get caught." Xia Bai'an said suddenly.

Miao Linlang tapped on the table and nodded slightly: "Yes, so unless necessary, I don't want to rely too much on the gambling house. But this time, you really have to help me. After getting the forged documents, we'd better not It’s good to step into the casino.”

"I understand." Having said this, Xia Bai'an suddenly took off the expensive gold hairpin from her hair and handed it to Miao Linlang with serious eyes, "Boss Miao and I have only known each other for a few months. I, thank you so much for your kindness, please accept it for my little kindness."

The setting sun poured through the window like blood red, falling into Xia Bai'an's upturned and serious eyes, adding a bit of charm to people's heart.

Miao Linlang forgot to breathe for a moment, stared blankly, and took the golden hairpin from her hand stupidly.

The next moment, Xia Bai'an blinked suddenly, and a smile burst into his clear pupils.

"Why are you in a daze?"

"No, I just felt for a moment... When you are quiet, there seems to be something calming in your eyes." Miao Linlang rubbed her eyes quickly.

Xia Bai'an also touched the corners of his eyes, and suddenly smiled: "I sound like a witch who is a disaster for the country, but seeing you calm down, let's discuss how to get out later."

"OK."

Miao Linlang came back to her senses and hurriedly chose suitable clothes for the two of them.

……

At the same time, in the restaurant.

Yun Xue was full of Mo Che, but he kept silent and refused to call her name, her patience was gradually exhausted, and the corners of her mouth gradually sank.

"Aren't you even willing to agree to this request?"

"I, Yunxue, am not a jackal, tiger or leopard. I put down my dignity and just want to be a bosom friend with you. Do you actually want to reject me?"

She asked a few questions again and again, all of which were filled with dissatisfaction in her grievances, and her eyes were even more angry.

After a long time, Mo Che suddenly said, "Yun Xue, as a young lady, you don't have to be so careful with me."

"You, you called my name! Say it again!" Yun Xue was instantly overwhelmed by surprise, and hurried to Mo Che's side, looking at him flatteringly.

"Yunxue." Mo Che pronounced the words clearly, but without any emotion.

Yunxue was about to turn her face, but Dahai beside her stepped forward at this time: "Miss, don't you still have to explain to Mr. Mo about going out at night, and you still have to buy clothes in the afternoon, so you don't wait for anyone."

The implication is to remind her not to be impatient and aggressive.

Yun Xue suddenly came back to her senses: "Forget it, if you call me a few more times in the future, your words will naturally become gentle. But tonight, I will make an appointment with Miss Sun's family. At that time, Sun Taiwei and all the young masters and ladies will go. Mo Che, You go with me."
